Community-Level Data Collection
The Community-level Instrument
(CLI) is a two part, web-based survey for
capturing information about SPF SIG
implementation at the community level.
Data from this instrument allows CSAP
to assess the progress of the
communities in their implementation of
both the SPF and prevention-related
interventions funded under the
initiative. Part I of the instrument
gathers information on the
communities’ progress implementing
the five SPF SIG steps and efforts taken
to ensure cultural competency
throughout the SPF SIG process.
Subrecipient communities receiving
SPF SIG awards will be required to
complete Part I of the instrument
annually.
Part II captures data on the specific
prevention intervention(s) implemented
at the community level, and is
completed for each prevention
intervention strategy implemented
during the specified reporting period.
Specific questions are tailored to match
the type of prevention intervention
strategy implemented (e.g., Prevention
Education, Community-based Processes,
and Environmental). Information
collected on each strategy will include
date of implementation, numbers of
groups and participants served,
frequency of activities, and gender, age,
race, and ethnicity of population
served/affected. Subrecipient
communities’ partners receiving SPF
SIG awards are required to update Part
II of the instrument a minimum of every
six months.
The estimated annual burden for
specific segments of the communitylevel data collection is displayed in
Table 1. The total burden assumes an
average of 15 community-level
subrecipients per grantee, annual
completion of the CLI Part I, a minimum
of two instrument updates per year for
the CLI Part II, and an average of three
distinct prevention intervention
strategies implemented by each
community during a 6-month period.
Total Estimates of Annualized Hour
Burden
Estimates of total and annualized
reporting burden for respondents by
evaluation cohort are displayed below
in Table 1. CSAP is requesting an
average annual estimate of: 167.28 hours
at the grantee-level and 5,737.5 hours at
the community-level. These hours are a
reduction in the average annual estimate
requested in the previous submission
for grantees and communities.
